Matte Venetian Plaster

Matte Venetian Plaster is the quintessential choice for minimalist and contemporary spaces. Unlike its high-gloss counterpart, this finish offers a refined, non-reflective surface that mimics the look of honed natural stone. By utilizing a slightly coarser grain of marble dust and omitting the final burnishing stage, we create a wall that feels grounded, serene, and incredibly soft to the touch. It provides a sophisticated backdrop that allows your furniture and art to take center stage, absorbing light rather than reflecting it.

The Art of Subtle Movement

While the finish is matte, it is far from flat. The beauty of our Matte Venetian plaster lies in its "clouding," the subtle, organic variations in tone that occur during the hand-troweling process. This movement provides a sense of depth that paint cannot achieve, giving your walls a soul and a sense of history without the intensity of a high-shine polish. It is the perfect implementation of the wabi-sabi philosophy: finding elegance in simplicity.


Architectural Versatility

Designers often choose a matte finish for rooms with large windows or heavy natural light. Because the surface does not glare, it maintains its color consistency and texture regardless of the time of day. This makes it an exceptional choice for modern architectural projects where clean lines and "quiet" surfaces are paramount. The matte texture acts as a visual anchor, making vast spaces feel more intimate and tactile.


A Sustainable, Mineral Surface

Like all our traditional plasters, our matte finish is composed of natural lime and minerals. It is naturally high in pH, making it resistant to mold and bacteria while contributing to a healthier indoor air quality. This finish is a "living" material that continues to harden over time, offering a durable, low-maintenance solution for those who value both high-end design and environmental responsibility.
